You’re so wrong and you have no idea. I’ll demonstrate with just one example:

“There is no Easter in Scripture.”

Well, you better tell the translators of the King James Bible.

Acts 12:4
And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.

Easter - as the KJV translators knew - is just the word used in Germanic language countries for the Resurrection/Passover of Christ. The resurrection is most definitely in scripture.

You completely avoid mentioning Hislop and Tammuz - which tells me I was right.

I knew you were going to use this mistranslation to prove your point. Here is the correct translation.

Act 12:4 So when he had arrested him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to keep him, intending to bring him before the people after Passover.

The Strongs is G3957 and that is "pascha" or Passover in Greek. There are several mistanslations in the KJV of the Bible. Also, the Masoretic text dates around 7th to 9th century AD. Acts was written much earlier than about 110 AD. in Greek. The Masoretics made many mistranslations. Another is when they translated "Sabbaton" as the "First day of the week" which would mean "Sunday" instead of the first Sabbath after First Fruits. This is relied upon for the people that don't realize that they are relying on this verse to try to justify the pope changing the sabbath to Sunday. If you look at other translations almost all translate this verse to say Sabbaton instead of the first day of the week. If "Day" is in italics in your Bible that denotes a word that was added to the verse and not the actual verse. There is no "Easter" in Scripture so the KJV just changed Passover to Easter. Maybe by the time King James ordered the translation in the 1600's it was politically incorrect to mention Passover after the popes had cancelled it, so I don't know why they did it. Gen 4:26 says that "Men began to call upon the name of the Lord" when Enosh was born. It actually says "Men began to defile the name of the Lord" When Enosh was born. Quite the difference. The Roman Catholic church was trying to sell the Nephilim as Godly people that came from children of Seth. All other translations say they profaned God's name and were evil. When reading the Old Testament, the Septuagint is the gold standard. Most of the OT quotes from Jesus are taken from the Septuagint. Relying on the KJV is one of the biggest problems in the church today for misunderstanding. You also have to always take into consideration most of the error in the church after the RCC took over the church in 326 AD was from antisemitism. They outlawed the Feast Days and put in Easter and Christmas and changed the Sabbath to Sunday to placate the pagans ordered to become Christians. When Rome pretty much ruled the world, they got what they wanted or fed you to the lions. The pope today will say he still controls all Christians because they still worship on Sunday. So a Lutheran that broke away from the RCC thinks they are independent now but still meet on Sunday. The pope still claims them.

The KJV is OK for a few things, but They are way off on too many things to make them your go to Bible. It is at least 800 years after most of the Bible was written in the early Hebrew and Greek. Easter and Passover almost never occur on the same calendar day and Christmas and Tabernacles aren't even close.

Amo 3:3 Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?

If you can't agree when God said He would meet with His people, will you not miss His appointment with you?

Jer 18:15 "Because My people have forgotten Me, They have burned incense to worthless idols. And they have caused themselves to stumble in their ways, From the ancient paths, To walk in pathways and not on a highway,

The "ancient paths" means the Torah. Jesus kept Passover, not Easter, and Tabernacles, not Christmas. Nothing Biblical happens on Christmas and Easter.
